Ubunu Server KVM: Sophos Firewall












0














I am running a Ubuntu Server with KVM.
The machine uses 8 physical NICs.



Currently i am in a learning and testing state (so please correct me if you see errors):



I have 1 VM running, which is Sophos XG where i have 1 WAN and 1 LAN port in bridged mode.
WAN is running in DHCP and LAN with DHCP server. Sophos up running and delivering devices connected to the bridged LAN port with an IP. So far so good.



Here is where i end up with my knowledge:
In Ubuntu, i do now have the following interfaces list:



- enp2s0
- enp3s0
- enp4s0f0
- enp4s0f1
- enp7s0f0
- enp7s0f1
- enp9s0f0
- enp9s0f1
- lo
- macvtap0
- macvtap1
- virbr0


Where the two "macvtap0/1" are the bridged ports for LAN/WAN from Sophos. Those two are briged from the 2 physical NICS "enp2s0/enp3s0".



I need now a solution to shield the host (ubuntu server) from those two physical NIC's.



My wish would be, if i would like to have network access with the host, i would need to use a cable from the LAN of sophos to one of the remaining pyhical NICs of the server.
Because currently the machine is not shielded from the internet and has therefore direct access which is not good.



Is there a easy way to configure the 2 NICs so that only the Sophos VM can use them but not the Host?



thanks
